rolites. .'
The mines are located ITO miles south.
west Of Ell Paso, but the greatest destruc-
ton occurred 200 miles southwest OF here,
Lieut.. Davis says:
"As far as I could learn, the entire Gar.
rolites district and the country for 200
miles southwest OF it were In constant
state Of convulsion for three days. At the
first shock myself and several other Amer
leans and Englishmen sought places of
safety on plateaus, but the shocks were 80
rapid and powerful that We expected every
moment to be killed.
IAN active volcano developed ten miles
from US, and when I left 1t was pouring
forth stream Of hct water aa thick as q
mans body. This column OF water WAS
thrown thirty feet in the air and Is impreg.
mated with sulphur and lava. Stones as
| big as mans head are forced up with it.
Smoke and fumes OF sulphur make it diff
cult to breathe in the vicinity. At Ojo
Don Pedro, town in the vicinity, twenty
people were killed and nearly every
building destroyed. At Cosa Owanda,
southeast Of there, forty families were de-
stroyed. There are number Of other
outot-the.way mining towns in tho vicin-
ity that l fear are totally destroyed. The
Mexicans are making no attempt to gath
er details, aud the American miners are
the ouly persona who aro trying to get at
the fscts."
From reports coming in it appears that
the entire southwestern part Of Sonora has
been subjected to the seyerest shocks.
Geysers and volcanoes are reported in all
parts Of the stricken territory.
